Choices Narrow in the SPARC Blade market

I
n the year 1999 there were 8 or so manufacturers with their own independent CPCI SPARC SBCs fighting for a share in this market . The first wave, which were highly dependent on the telco markets, dropped out with the dotcom collapse in 2000.

More recently, in 2005, it looks like FORCE COMPUTERS (now part of Motorola Computer Group) and Continuous Computing have severely cut back their SPARC marketing activities.

If this follows a pattern of activities we've seen in this market before, we expect Force and Continuous Computing to exit the SPARC market this year as they pursue growth opportunities in the larger Intel Architecture market instead.

Serial Attached SCSI - Delivering Flexibility to the Data Center - article by LSI Logic and Maxtor

If you think you already know SAS because you know SATA and traditional SCSI then think again. Sometimes disruptive technologies wear an unassuming disguise. In fiction, Clark Kent, Frodo Baggins and Buffy Summers at first seem harmless, but we see them change into Superman, the Ring Bearer and the Slayer.

SAS too comes cloaked in plain garb - with a physical layer which looks a lot like SATA. But like the Incredible Hulk there are muscles rippling under that shirt - and you would be wrong to dismiss SAS so lightly. There's a lot more inside this interface than it says on the box as this informative article reveals. ...read the article, ...LSI Logic profile, ...Maxtor profile, Serial Attached SCSI
